Aleman Lab is dedicated to the art of manual espresso. No circuits, no pumps, just pure mechanics and thermal stability.
Some tools ask very little of you. Others invite you to slow down and take part in the process.
The ALM Kopi espresso machine belongs to the second group.
Designed and built with a deep appreciation for mechanical precision, ALM Kopi strips espresso back to its essentials. Every shot is guided by your hands, your feel, and your attention. There are no unnecessary features or distractions. Just thoughtful engineering and a direct connection between you and the coffee.
Built from stainless steel and made to last for decades, each machine is as much a workshop tool as it is a piece for the kitchen. It rewards curiosity, patience, and repetition. The kind of object that becomes more familiar with every use.
We are proud to introduce ALM Kopi to North America for the very first time, available exclusively at KNIFE.
For those who enjoy the ritual as much as the result, this is espresso in its purest form.
Whether you're building your first manual espresso setup or adding a truly unique machine to your collection, the ALM Kopi is made to be used every day and appreciated for years to come. We invite you to experience it in person at KNIFE and discover why we believe it is one of the most thoughtful manual espresso machines being made today.
Don't compromise on your coffee when you travel. A fully mechanical, exquisite espresso maker that packs cafe-quality extraction into a backpack-friendly size.
The 51 Mini features a removable base, quick-release chamber, and a removable basket for ease of cleaning.
How to use:
First, please preheat the chamber (this step is very important, keep the temperature stable, and the extracted coffee liquid will definitely be excellent). Then pour hot water to about eight-tenths full (water at 92 degrees Celsius extracts the best flavor), and then put the piston in.
When manually pressing down, keep your body stable and perform a 2Bar soak (this is the charm of a manual espresso machine; a few seconds of soaking can perfectly present the oil flavor). Then you can press down fully, keeping the pressure gauge pointer stable at 9Bar, and stop when you reach the desired weight.
After extraction, lift the handle several times to empty the pressure, then you can remove the filter basket.
The 51 Mini includes a bean scoop and two glass espresso cups.
